"Extra . . .. For You!"
We are proud and pleased to
present to all of you just about the
best news in Boys' Life history.
Starting with our February issue,
soon to be mailed, you will see a
NEW magazine! Your Boys' Life
will be bigger than ever, more
colorful, and jam-packed with the
kind of fiction and articles which
will make it the best magazine for
boys ever published.
From the beautiful new cover
design featuring a Norman Rock-
well painting, through its 64 pages,
action-filled with real Scouting fic-
tion, articles and photo-features,
the new Boys' Life will make you
say . . . "Now, more than ever, no
registered man or boy can avoid
to be without Boys' Life!"
Our new Boys' Life will be
worth far more than the $2.50 a
year which over 100,000 of our
subscribers will pay for it. With
the special Scout Rate and the
ultra-special Concession Plan avail-
able to our own membership, there
has simply never been a bargain
to compare with it.
Months of preparation and many
thousands of dollars have gone into
the planning for this new Boys'
Life. You will be proud of it, we
know, just as we are!
For Boys' Life "belongs" to the
Boy Scouts of America. It offers
wholesome reading, and contains
program material designed to help
any Scout Unit.

boree Message to Scouts" heads the
wonderful lead article, "Ragged
Rabble" by Irving Crump.

stories about ice hockey . . . Cana-
dian Mounties . . . deep sea divers
. . . Valley Forge . . . animals . . .
and another mudhen yarn. There
are fifteen top articles including,
"Jumbo Pack," by William Hill-
court and "Ditty Bag" by Ernest
F. Schmidt, plus "Hiking with
Green Bar Bill," five sports items,
and "Indian Fair" by Jim English.
